Droopy, thin, floppy leaf phal keiki
My poor baby! The leaves are droopy, so thin, and so floppy. BUT its growing new, healthy-looking, thick with bright green tipped roots. I potted this keiki, along with one other, in orchid bark medium. Its in the same window as its sibling. Leaves are dark green. No new leaves since I separated it from mama.
I thought I read somewhere that sometimes keikis just don't survive off the mama plant. I hope this isn't the case. Should I repot in a more sturdy medium? All my phals are in a medium bark, I water them thoroughly 1x/wk outside in the fresh air and they seem to be doing fine in my south-facing window. The rest of them are sprouting new leaves and lots of healthy roots.
